    The man whose body was discovered in Summit Lake Wednesday evening has been identified by the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office as Roniel Lee Otis, a 43-year-old man from Akron.

    Akron police and fire department originally responded around 5:45 p.m. to the 400 block of Ira Avenue after a caller reported seeing Otis's body in the water. Otis was pronounced dead on the scene shortly after the Akron Fire Department Dive Team recovered the body from the lake.

    An investigation is ongoing. The autopsy is also pending, the medical examiner's office said in a release.
